What I remember about mom is plentiful. I have racked my brain to try to remember a time when she had said something bad about someone. I cannot remember once. I remember how she taught me to be careful of whom I associate with. That paid off all through life. She taught me compassion, kindness, commitment, forgiveness and the importance of honoring your vows. She taught me that seemingly bad things happen for a reason and if you pay attention the reason will make itself clear. She taught me to appreciate what I have, including each day. I even remember my mother teaching me to look both ways before crossing the street.
My mother was proud of her son’s accomplishments. She didn’t have a favorite; she loved each of us equally. But she made each of us feel like her favorite.
At eighty six years old she still had all her own teeth and her smile was beautiful. As Linda said her skin was beautiful and glowing. Her bad habits as she called them were staying up too late. She never smoked and was not a drinker. She had an incredible sense of humor and loved a good joke or gag gift. Her mind was sharp until the end. The ladies at the place she lived said that she would memorize the discarded cards when they played poker. In doing this she always won. There were always at least five people setting at those tables playing. She remembered names of my friends from high school and would sometimes ask me about them reminding me of things that had happened with them that I had long forgotten. She had a lot of hardships as many from her generation did.
If I had a choice of a million different mothers to choose from, the rich, the famous and powerful, knowing what I know now I would choose her over all of them every time.
Getting mom for a mother was the best thing that ever happened to me. It was like hitting the jackpot of all mothers.

My favorite childhood Aunt Mary memory was when she cleaned the kitchen by putting the dirty dishes in the washing machine. My favorite grown-up memories: 1.How I brought Aunt Mary to Atlantic City and I took her picture at the Poker Table. 2.How I took her to the Nail Salon and asked her if she wanted pink nail polish and she said I want red (my favorite color). 3.How she was always current with the latest news and politics. 4. How we could talk for hours.5.How she said Dennis had all her bad habits.6. How proud she was of all her sons and hoped she did a good job being a single mom.7.How she had such beautiful skin and an even greater smile. 8.How she loved to play cards as much as I did.9.How happy she was when Mike brought her to New York and we met her with flowers. She felt like a movie star. 10.How much I will miss her!

We will miss you Grandma! I'm so happy for our last visit with you in California...
...One time I moved away from Thousand Oaks and stopped in to see Grandma on my journey to my next destination. I don't know how she did it but using some swift Italian wordplay found out that I didn't pay my library fees ($18.00) before I left. How did she do that?
Love You Forever Grandma...

One of the Lessons which mom taught me is that Obstacles are a necessity. It's our choice whether
they become chaos or opportunities for revelation of Light.
